  • Worst Enemy

    I swear Montana Republicans are their own worst enemies. There is now a Republican Legislator suing the Governor to <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/11/01/news/state/27-taxrebatesuit.txt">stop, yes I said stop, a tax rebate</a>.

Brian Schweitzer</a> knew he couldn't help</a> the Morgans and <a href="http://karbonkountymoos.com/">Karen</a> but just didn't want to tell them to their face. <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/10/08/news/state/20-brucellosis.txt">Today's article about the situation</a> just confirms that.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>A Bridger ranching family that had to slaughter all its stock because of a…

  • Fixing The Playground

    There was a couple of interesting articles in the Gazette from the recent conference at the Burton K. Wheeler Center at Montana State University which looked at the recent Legislative session and how to avoid the problems faced.<br />n<br />nThe <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/10/02/news/state/20-rancor.txt">first article</a> started out by talking about term limits and annual Legislative Sessions and…
